Toronto Fire responded to a reported fire at Michael Garron Hospital, but it has determined to be a false alarm.

Emergency services were called to the hospital on Coxwell Avenue just after 4 p.m.

It was determined that some construction workers triggered the alarm while doing some work inside the building.

No fire was there and no injuries have been reported.
